Of course, a fun little boy's quilt is not complete without a colorful and pieced quilt back (with near perfect alignment!):

Almost entirely made from organic fabrics, complemented with some suitable Kona Cottons, bound in a rather more traditional red/white pin stripe binding fabric, and as always, with entirely machine stitched binding for durability.

The finished quilt measures 40 inches x 48 inches; a very manageable size for little boys, allowing them to adjust, carry and drag the quilt as needed, from bed, to couch, as picnic blanket, cubby house shelter or wherever else their imagination may take it.

It's amazing that with just the right fabric just a simple block quilt seems the perfect thing to do. You get to have a wide view of the fabrics and the way the go together. Anything more seems to just distract you away from all you really need.
